Destructible objects (Graveyard Shift)

This article is about destructible objects from Graveyard Shift. For destructible objects from other games, please see Destructible objects.

Destructible objects are objects in Graveyard Shift that can be destroyed with any weapons, some granting points upon being destroyed. They are placed through the environment, and are made to be in style with the environment. Some appear in great numbers, and most optional to destroyed.

Ones that grant points appear in great numbers, and grant 25 points when destroyed. They are important when the player is trying to get a high score. All objects can be destroyed with a single shot of any weapon, and while undamaged cannot be interacted with the player (other than shot) or by enemies. The majority of destructible objects are found in castle levels.

Incomplete section This section is incomplete. You can help by adding the missing info.

Coffins appear as a stone block with a helmet-wearing knight on top.

Game information

Coffins can be destroyed with any weapon, but unlike most other destroyable object, the player must shoot the coffin multiple times to destroy it. Coffins always contain a weapon box, the weapon often being a grenade.

It is because of their appearance they can be interpreted as scenery, thus, the player will not shoot them. Sections of Graveyard Shift which contain coffins are the only situations where a weapon box is actually hidden from the player.

This section is empty. You can help Nitrome Wiki by adding info.

Game information

Bridges are placed between two platforms so maidens can cross. Bridges are long and made of wood, and can be caused to fall if shot with the gun enough times. During the game, only twice is a bridge used. The first time is when a maiden is running. The player must first wait for the maiden to cross, then cause the bridge to fall.

Many zombies will begin to come out of the ground under the bridge, allowing the player to massacre the zombies below and rack up much points, however, once a bridge touches the ground, zombies who come out of the ground will come up out of the bridge.

Cages are destructible objects in Graveyard Shift.

Appearance

Cages have a gold coloured base and ceiling, with gold bars between the edges of the two squares. There is a padlock on the cage to keep it closed.

Game information

Cages exist to hold maidens. When a cage comes on to the screen, it always has a maiden. To open the cage, the player has to shoot the lock, which destroys the cages and lets the maiden run free. The player has to be careful where they shoot to break the cage, as it is possible to shoot the maiden in the cage.

If the player does not open a cage, and lets it pass by the left edge of the screen, soon the player will lose health as the maiden will die. No points are given for destroying a cage.
